We could argue about this kind of thing all day, I know. Others will have their opinions and most will be valid. I'm more than willing to leave it at the fact that there is a pantheon of true masterpieces as far as television shows are concerned, particularly shows to come out of this golden age. Within this pantheon, in my view, sits The Sopranos, The Wire and Breaking Bad. However they're ranked barely matters -- they're all breathtaking achievements.
